507 Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder and systemic EBV+ T cell lymphoma of childhood and adulthood

Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HVLPD) is a rare Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated T-cell lymphoproliferative disease. The term HVLPD has been renamed from hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoma to lymphoproliferative disorder according to 2016 WHO classification due to its relationship with chronic active EBV infection and a spectrum in terms of its clinical course. It usually affects children and young adolescents, although adult and elderly cases have been reported. Clinically, it is characterized by recurrent erythematous papules and vesicles leaving pitted scars on the sun-exposed area including face and forearms.
